She Disappeared from the Spotlight… Now We Know Why
On May 24, 2023, the world said goodbye to Tina Turner, the electrifying voice behind hits like “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Proud Mary”. She passed away peacefully at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, at the age of 83, after a long illness.
Dubbed the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll, Tina Turner wasn’t just a singer—she was a force of nature. Her unmatched stage presence, emotional power, and resilience inspired generations. But behind the glamour was a woman who had suffered greatly—from a traumatic marriage to Ike Turner, to years battling health issues including stroke, intestinal cancer, and kidney failure.
After decades of touring and performing, Tina retired from public life, choosing peace and privacy in the serene hills of Switzerland. In 2013, she officially became a Swiss citizen. Her final years were quiet, spent with her beloved husband Erwin Bach, whom she married after 27 years together.
Her death came as a shock to many who hadn’t heard from her in years. But in hindsight, the silence made sense. Tina had already given the world her fire—now she needed rest.
Her legacy remains immortal. Few artists transformed pain into power the way Tina did. And even in her absence, her voice still echoes—raw, bold, unforgettable.
